The Tenderest Branches


Aye the tenderest branches within the heart
Love veins
                pumping adrenaline rain
                                                    from the start
So I can breathe a little ecstasy...no more
What was then, has festered and tore

The tree within me stands shaken
It's fruitless leaves far forsaken
For what once grew anew
             dissipated along with the faded morning dew

What is left when the sun has dried me up?
Left the soul rotten and forgotten until the mind begins to corrupt?
The answer is the aching sighs of seashells made...
                                                                            from where emptiness lies
Do you hear them whispering?
Sounding
               gentle hello
                                   goodbyes
The volume of echoes low and paper thin
Sensitive cold long old and tapering
